Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 2'7, 1906.

Application filed March 31, 1902. Serial No. 100,729.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, SIMON DANOYGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and use ful Improvement in Tag-Clasps; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, and to the characters of reference marked thereon, which forms a part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in tag-clasps, the features of which will be fully hereinafter described and claimed.

The object of my invention is the construction of a wire clasp that shall be well adapted to be thrust into a roll of carpet or of heavy folded goods and by the resiliency of the arms the hooks thereof will make a secure holding for a marking-tag held in the central loop of said clasp.

The construction is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which the figure is a side view of the device.

Like characters designate like parts.

The clasp A, formed of wire, comprises the central arc 1, the curves 2 and 3, extendin outwardly, the straight flexible arms 4 and 5, which cross in different planes near their outer ends, and the terminal hooks 6 6, formed at an acute angle to said arms. The curves 2 and 3 serve as convenient points to be grasped by the fingers.

In use the hooks are compressed and thrust between folds of goods, and the resiliency of the arms causes the engagement of said hooks when released from the grasp. The paper tag is provided with an orifice near its edge and is readily slipped over one of the arms until it rests in the central are- What I claim is As an improved article of manufacture the tag-clasp comprising the central arc, the outward curves from said arc, the straight flexible arms crossing near' their outer ends, and terminating in hooks bent oppositely at an acute angle to said arms, substantially as described.

In testimony hat I claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signature in presence 0 two witnesses.

SIMON DANOYGER.
